MODERATORS
Top Gear were completely phony though, they purposefully ran the battery flat before the demo. This is known. Elons a douche but so is Clarkson.
Also, IIRC, Top Gear have always had a blase attitude towards their influence in the motor world. Given their reputation as petrol heads, and the fact that their review was also critical of the impact of EV's on the environment, they've often fell back on the "we're an entertainment show, you're not supposed to take us as experts", when many manufacturers have often said a negative review could cause significant harm in sales.
In all fairness though both Hammond and May currently own Teslas.
